Top Rated Car Tinting Company in Malaysia

Malaysia is hot and humid all year round, with temperatures generally being between 26 to 32 degrees celcius. If you live in the city and drive to commute to your work place, you would probably spend an average of 2 to 3 hours every day in your car. The heat and glare of the sun on most days makes us squint our eyes and increases our exposure to harmful UV rays. And therefore, vehicle window tinting has become the way to go for most of us. 

Window tinting helps prevent the sun from shining right into our cars, and our eyes! And it also filters out the heat from our hot, sunny weather, and with security tint, it gives us privacy and protection for both our car interiors and our valuables in the car. With that said, there are many car tinting companies available in the market and here is a list of some of the best car tinting companies in Malaysia with a comparison of some of their products and services to help you pick the best for your car tinting needs.

Summary

Some carry international brands of tinting film as above, but, others are also house brands, which will claim to be just as compatible as the more well known brands. Do some research online and read through reviews for these companies and the brands of window tinting films that they offer before making a decision.

Here are some of the terms involved in car window tinting that you should know as you search and decide on which car tinting company to go for. 

Visible Light Transmission (VLT) percentage: The percentage of total visible light that is able to pass through the filmed glass. The lower the percentage, the darker the tint and the lower the visible light transmitted. Do check the Road Transport Department’s (JPJ) regulations for approved car-window tinting VLT percentages. 

Ultraviolet Rejection (UV): It is the quantity of ultraviolet (UV) energy that is blocked from transmitting through the glass. 

Complete Solar Energy Rejected (TSER): The percent of solar energy (heat) rejected by the window film. The higher the percentage, the more solar energy (heat) is rejected. 

Visible Light Reflectance (VLR): The percent of total visible light that is reflected by the window film. The lower the percentage, the less visible light gets reflected. 

Safety Film: Window tinting film that protects your windows against high impact contact, measured in Mils. The higher the Mil, the thicker the film, but it is not advisable to take more than 6Mil in measurements, because your power window will not work. 

Solar Film: Window tinting film that shields your car against the sun’s glare, heat and UV rays. 

Don’t just settle for the cheapest tinting promotions that you come across as it could cost you more in the long run. Be aware of the reputations of the tinting companies, and also the brands, and try to get a good deal for a car window tinting package. During festive seasons, tinting companies could offer some free car accessories for promotions, look out for them. And lastly, ALWAYS ask for a warranty card for your rights and privilege when you are investing in vehicle tinting.
